Tapestries because they're made of matter, the rest aren't.

improving your communication skills so when you lie on the couch you will be better equipped to request beer and pizza from one of your house servants

I didn't ignore your clue. So I'll go for the weaker "finagle" because it's the only one with an "f".

ok ... it is finagle ... but not for the reason you gave

I bet tapestries (the only one made from matter) is more odd than finagle is.

finagle is the only one that isn't two words butted together.

I had to use Google to check the theory. Chartreuse, nearly tripped me up. I thought what the heck is the word that I pronounced as "roose".
